He only just joined América and is already close to joining Atlante | OneFootball

The season has ended for Club América, and with that the transfer market ahead of the 2026 Apertura and the Leagues Cup got underway, the tournaments Las Águilas will play during this second half of the year.

Curiously, the first departure would be a player who had only just arrived at Club América for the 2026 Clausura; in fact, we’re talking about the team’s most recent signing.

According to journalist César Merlo, Club América will loan Thiago Espinosa to Atlante for one year, but before doing so, they will trigger the two-million purchase option from Racing de Montevideo.

For reasons unknown to us, Thiago never managed to earn the coaching staff’s trust; he played just 113 minutes in five matches and started only one of them.

At 21, it was expected that perhaps for this upcoming tournament he would be a regular backup to Cristian Borja, but it seems that will not be the case.

One of the reasons for loaning out the young Uruguayan is that two left-backs who were on loan at Necaxa are returning, namely Franco Rossano and ‘Chicote’ Calderón.

Perhaps the coaching staff plans to keep one of the two mentioned above, and that would leave no room for Thiago Espinosa.
